Russia: New US Military Strategy Is Confrontational

1 Share
Russia said Thursday a new U.S. military strategy was confrontational and would not help improve relations with Moscow, strained by the crisis in Ukraine. The strategy, released by the Pentagon on Wednesday, said Russia had repeatedly demonstrated it does not respect the sovereignty of its neighbors and that it was willing to use force to achieve its goals. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov expressed regret about the content of the document and said it indicated a "confrontational attitude, devoid of any objectivity towards our country." "Of course this will hardly contribute to attempts to steer bilateral relations in the direction of normalisation," he told reporters during a conference call. Relations between Moscow and the West are at their lowest point since the end of the Cold War, mainly because of the crisis in Ukraine. The United States and the European Union imposed sanctions on Russia after it seized the Crimea peninsula from Ukraine last year and have accused it of providing pro-Russian separatists in east Ukraine with weapons and soldiers. "Russia's military actions are undermining regional security directly and through proxy forces," the new National Military Strategy of the United States said. Moscow denies sending troops and arms to the separatists in a conflict in which more than 6,400 people have been killed and accuses the West of plotting a coup d'etat to topple a Ukrainian president backed by Moscow in February 2014.

Доклад о ситуации в Чечне 

1 Share
From: SvobodaRadio
Duration: 54:00

30 июля Международная кризисная группа представила в Брюсселе доклад о ситуации в Чечне. По мнению его авторов, к настоящему времени Чечня достигла больших успехов в подавлении подполья, восстановлении городов, исправлении своего имиджа и официальных экономических показателей, однако эту стабильность исследователи называют обманчивой и приводят десятки свидетельств грубейших нарушений прав человека в республике, которые происходят на фоне коррупции, вымогательств и неприкрытого давления на судей.

В студии РС авторы этого доклада: консультант Международной кризисной группы Варвара Пархоменко и директор проекта по Северному Кавказу Международной кризисной группы Екатерина Сакирянская, а также программный директор по России международной правозащитной организации Human Rights Watch Татьяна Локшина, выступившая одним из рецензентов этого исследования.
Международная кризисная группа – созданная в 1995 году независимая некоммерческая международная организация. Её эксперты проводят исследования непосредственно в зонах конфликтов, на основе которых затем готовят аналитические отчеты, содержащие практические рекомендации чиновникам, ответственным за принятие ключевых решений.

Ukraine ceasefire: 'There is shooting all the time'

1 Share
Skirmishes between Ukrainian forces and pro-Russian rebels continue despite a truce signed in February, giving little cause for hope of an end to the conflict
“This doesn’t smell like peace to me,” said the Monk, sighing heavily in his makeshift control centre, a former chandelier shop in the basement of a block of flats, near the remains of what not long ago was Donetsk international airport.
“There is shooting all the time,” he said. A 47-year-old former
police officer from Donetsk whose real name is Oleg Gorlenko, he was given his nom de guerre, he said, because he never cheated on his wife. He has been fighting the Ukrainian army for more than a year and does not believe in the current ceasefire.

Yoga for Putin: poses inspired by Russia's president

1 Share
Russian authorities have put yoga on their ever-growing banned list, but luckily the country’s leader has shown citizens the way forward
The latest addition to the Russian authorities’ banned list – after Nick Clegg, gay people and lacy knickers – is yoga. Two hatha yoga studios which rent public spaces in the central Russian city of Nizhnevartovsk will no longer be able to do so. Public officials explained they were taking the steps “to prevent the spread of new religious cults and movements”. God forbid. Suffice to say, it is unlikely that Russia’s all-action president does yoga (in January, he expressed incredulity that India has a“Ministry for Yoga”). So for Nizhnevartovsk residents wondering what they are missing, here are four new yoga positions that might get the Putin nod of approval, inspired by Russia’s fittest man:

Environment watchdog investigates RN Yuganskneftegaz for water protection violations due to leak at Nefteyugansk that threatens to enter Ob river
Russia’s environmental watchdog has opened a case against state-owned oil corporation Rosneft after a pipeline leak resulted in oily water filling backyards and flowing out of locals’ taps in Siberia.
RN Yuganskneftegaz, a subsidiary of Rosneft, has been charged with an administrative violation of water protection regulations leading to contamination. The leak occurred last week just outside Nefteyugansk, a major oil town near the Ob river in the Khanty-Mansiysk region of Siberia, and quickly contaminated several hectares of water in the area, which has been suffering from flooding. The leak had been stopped as of Monday, the watchdog said.
